Waltzingmouse Pajama Party - August

Today is the second Waltzingmouse Pajama Party and I have made two cards with my new stamps, and did I have fun!  There will be lots to look at today, so I will get right to it.

First, Tie a Knot in it and Get Nauty.  (I combined two challenge categories into one)
I started with a Silhouette little boy romper cut file and decorated it with a variety of stamps from Waltzingmouse Tying the Knot and Oceanbound.  The cute striped pattern is one of the ropes and stamped over and over makes a pretty cute little pattern.  I also cut a pocket with the stripes running in the opposite direction.  The sentiments and ship's wheel were cut out from Claire's matching Oceanbound cut files.  They take all the guess work out of cutting around a sentiment...they are sized perfectly.

PICTURE REMOVED FOR PUBLICATION

My second card uses the Color Inspiration Photo.

I used my new Two Step Floral Sprig stamps for my card.
I have to admit I have had several "step" flowers stamps and ended up selling them all because I could not line up the stamps properly.  I am happy to say I finally have a keeper!  This set is so easy to line up, even I could do it.  I also used the matching Two Step Floral Sprig cut files and Waltzingmouse Chicken Wire for the subtle background.  I added a sentiment from Folk Art Labels #25 and a Fanfare Scalloped Border Die from Lil Inker.

You have a whole 24 hours to link up a card of your own for the Pajama Party...there will also be a bedtime story sketch posted to wrap up the party.  Why not play along?  Here the link.

Love the 'Sailer Boy' card - sooo cute and also your flower card is just adorable!

Claire said...

The romper looks brilliant Cathy - I've just borrowed my friend's Silhouette for a couple of months so that's something I will definitely try doing! What a great idea to use the ropes to decorate it. And I love how you used the flower set with the colour scheme...it looks fantastic in the more traditionally masculine colours!

You are amazing. Your romper is just the cutest thing ever. For someone who is not yet a grandmother, you are sure preparing yourself by making the cutest baby things in all of blogland. Can you imaging a chubby little baby wearing something just like this? I can. And, your flower card is just beautiful.
